She's either grown on me since I saw her earlier today or your changes to her did the trick. Other than wishing her hair was red, I'd definitely be down for her. She looks like she's out of a sci-fi movie or TV show from the 70's or 80's.

Yeah Dale Arden from Flash Gordon. No thanks. I don't want to pay extra for variants just for the sake of having them. Now if they released them with a purpose and cool bio, maybe I will bite, but I don't need a dozen different Teela's that are the same person with no story behind her.

Now Ice Armor He-man etc. Has already been explained, his sword taps into a certain power granting him all these cool armors. But this is not a barbie line, I don't want slots wasted on dress up Teela day, dyed her hair a different color day.

I just have to say that there are quite a few characters in the SLOL mini that would be great MOTUC figures!

Totally agree with everything said here.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but isn't Teela's hair in this minicomic the same colour as her figure, just, you know, let down? You know what, if she want's to change her clothes and let her hair down, why the heck not?!

This was covered in Roast Gooble Dinner when they spoke to Lee Nordling, the editor of this minis. Mattel didn't talk to illustrators back then. That's why we got so many variations of early characters back then--one hand wasn't aware of what the other hand was doing.

Damn near every character except for He-Man and Skeletor have variants in different looks and colors. Around 1984, the characters started becoming consistent across the board.

It sounded to me like "Lodar" was created independently from Zodac. They didn't even know about the Zodac figure when they named their character in the mini comic. My impression also is that he was called "ZODAK" because they manually changed the name to "LODAR"--something a lot easier to do if that was a K and not a C at the end of the name.

And I agree, they didn't have great communication. You can see them using the Filmation models to get uniform looks after a while. Skeletor is obviously based on his Filmation design in some comics, and Teela and the Sorceress both appear with Filmation designs but wrong colors (pink and white).

If MATTEL can ever come up with a different and improved crotch for the females, then I'm totally down for this version of TEELA. I want to see a 'panty bottom' crotch piece rather than the 'skirt bottom'.

In which comics does TEELA wear her pink outfit? I kind of like that look; it reminds me of her NA outfit.

SORCERESS is pink in Stench of Evil, but TEELA is in her normal colors in that one. TEELA is pink in Temple of Darkness as well as Double-Edged Sword. Anyone know any others?

Can there ever be too many versions of Teela? I, for one would be happy with a Teela for every He-man variant. Maybe I'm crazy, but I have this condition called "Teelarexia" and I can literally not have too many Teelas in my collection. Just please,paint the face instead of casting it in flesh-toned plastic. One cannot stress this enough.

If I had my way, all the Teelas would be filing it out at the last week of the fan polls. Don't be hatin'!

I think after BG Teela.. Any other Teelas better LOOK like Teela. You MAY get away with the pink Teela in classic costume or a Filmation version or 200x... but Random redhead/blonde with Teela's name... but nothing else? I think there would be riots.

LOL! I'm a big Teela fan too!

I think that the redhead Teela fans should accept that Teela has multiple looks. They might prefer Teela with red hair, but she can be blonde occasionally. That's like fans still being angry that Spider-Man had a black costume for a few years or that the Hulk was gray for awhile. Or that He-Man can be running around in any outfit other than his original costume.

Pretty much, I agree but I think that where Battleground Teela failed was the face. If you compare the original Teela to BG, the beauty is lost in the molded plastic. If BG Teela were to have the painted face, she would have been much more warmly welcomed IMHO. That being said, if SEOL Teela were to look more like the original in the face, I think she could potentially be a stunning figure with numerous head swap applications. You don't like the blonde BG Teela? Head swap with SEOL Teela. You don't want her hair up and in the tiara? That's cool; swap her head out again with SEOL Teela! I'm all over the idea of it and there is a snowball chance in Hades of her even happening. Agreed, the repainted "classic" outfit, 200X MYP and maybe even Snake Teela may sell better, but one may still dream right? Compare left to right. Left still looks like Teela. Also, thank you for championing BG Teela, MegaGearMax. I've always wanted her. Teela is my favorite Master. image.jpg

It's all been done before. Everything to say has already been said. Do me a solid and pretend I posted something witty and original here
